Bio Garantie SRL

What Bio Garantie SRL does

Bio Garantie SRL is a Romanian private limited company (SRL) headquartered in Bucharest that operates as an accredited control and certification body for organic agricultural and processed products. Established in 2021, the company assumed the Romanian operations previously conducted by Austria Bio Garantie Sucursala Bucuresti and functions as the Romanian subsidiary of Austria Bio Garantie GmbH within the EASY-CERT Group, a European certification network spanning Romania, Croatia, Hungary, Italy, Austria, Switzerland, and Türkiye. Bio Garantie holds identification code RO-ECO-029, is accredited under ISO 17065 by RENAR since March 2025, and is acknowledged by Romania's Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (MADR).

The company offers inspection and certification services across two divisions — Agriculture (farms producing organic crops, livestock, aquaculture, beekeeping, and wild collection) and Processing and Trade (food processors, manufacturers, traders, and importers/exporters). Its certification portfolio covers the EU Organic Regulation (848/2018), Romanian national legislation (Order 312/2021), and private organic standards including Bioland, Bio Suisse, Naturland, Biokreis, and GLOBALG.A.P. (the latter delivered in cooperation with CERES). Service delivery is anchored on the EASY-CERT Cloud platform — a unified portal providing order management, food-label checking, product certification, and certification status search, rolled out to all clients following 2025 inspections.

Revenue is generated through recurring annual certification fees structured under two tariff systems (Tariff System A for agriculture, Tariff System B for processors/traders), hourly inspection rates, and per-transaction transaction certificates issued under Order 895/2016 for organic trade volumes above defined thresholds. The go-to-market is sales-led and event-driven: prospective clients engage via the website, phone, email, and callback forms, and the company maintains presence at BIOFACH, the leading European organic food trade fair, alongside sister EASY-CERT entities. The team comprises approximately 15-20 staff across management, agriculture, processing, quality management, marketing, and an Impartiality Committee, with strict separation between inspection and certification roles to satisfy ISO 17065 impartiality requirements.
